1 Choose various pages from a book and cut five rectangles of varying heights and 16cm wide. Spread glue along one long edge of each shape and overlap with the opposite to make a cylinder. Repeat five more times.
2 Trace out the roof and transfer it on to a page from the book. Cut out the shape, spread glue along one straight edge, then fold the opposite edge round to make a cone. Repeat to make a second. Place a cone on top of two cylinders. 
3 To make a castle turret, create a short cylinder from a 17cm wide rectangle. Assemble as in step 1, then make 1cm snips at 1cm intervals all the way around the top. Fold back each alternate square. 
4 Cut paper, 0.5cm x 12cm, spread glue along the strip and roll it up tightly. Repeat with a second piece. 
5 Stick the rolled-up paper strips to the top outside edge of the third cylinder from step 1. Position them opposite one another. Dab a little glue on each and place the turret top in place.
6 Trace the square section of the castle and transfer it on to a page from the book. Cut the shape, score along the lines marked on the template, and fold along them. Spread glue on the flap and secure to form a square-sided shape.
7 To display your castle, open the book out flat and arrange the shapes.
